Bugs is just wondering out loud how lucky he is to live in the city away from all the rabbit hunters in the country side. Distracted, he gets into a getaway car thinking it is a taxi and finds himself caught by gangsters who feel he knows too much.
Although this is not really a great Bugs Bunny film, it is still a pretty funny cartoon and should be funny to anyone who has seen a single Jimmy Cagney gangster film in their life. The usual Bugs stuff doesn't come till near the end where Bugs finally gets to play them for the upper hand, but all of it is funny simply because it works as a nice little Bugs film-come-gangster spoof.
The main gangster is a great little cliché and works very well indeed. He is milked for more laughs by having his sidekick be a big dumb gangster not unlike baby bear in Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears. They play off each other well. Bugs is good throughout no matter what he does and he is as good as always.
Overall, this may not be the usual formula for Bugs Bunny cartoons but it still works as it has that as it's basic foundation but adds a clever little gangster spoof to the mix that will be funny to those familiar enough with that genre to laugh at the little stereotype involved.
